As long as I can sing, I will sing for them.”Bonaobra expressed her long-standing support for Mabasa and enjoyment of sharing the stage with him.“With Mark, he&#x27;s so professional and I love working with him.

It’s like we’re like brothers and sisters.”Bonaobra appeared on X Factor UK in 2017, while Mabasa competed in the first season of X Factor Philippines in 2012.The artists expressed their gratitude for the continued support from fans well after their time on the hit reality talent competition.“You guys are the best, since day one.
